silhouette-vuejs-app VS cask

Stuff like this https://github.com/SunPj/silhouette-vuejs-app is around. If you ask on the Silhouette forum they can probably point you to other examples.

I want to just block as if there's no tomorrow, no effects / hardcore FP (maybe only something like https://github.com/softwaremill/ox), what would you use? E.g. for http server / db / json ?https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/cask ?

There's the Li Haoyi's ecosystem of tools and libraries that's fun to hack on, has a low entry-bar (with a design philosophy of using the least complex abstractions for the job), and has few libs like requests and cask that may appeal to those liking some python minimalism. That's not the fastest way to learn hardcore FP, that's not the worst either.

Wonder if anyone uses: https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/cask

Is play-framework a strong requirement? If not, you might have an easier time building a simple API and serializing JSON with the lihaoyi ecosystem, namely cask as the microframework and uPickle/uJson.

For people who want to get their feet wet with Scala, I highly recommend Cask and the rest of what some people affectionately call “the Singapore stack,” in honor of Li Haoyi, its developer. He emphasizes tasteful use of Scala features with an emphasis on API ergonomics. All of his work is a joy to use.

The documentation points to a pretty outdated example. Can you try with the latest 0.8.3 release?

If you want something really easy and simple, have a look at cask: https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/cask/

Best I can do is Cask: https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/cask/ 😅
